Using Page Templates & General Appearance

Developers will combine and reconfigure elements from the most up-to-date template pages found in the HTML Elements - SK 1 course to build new course content in Brightspace. Developers will consult with the Course Development Specialist (CDS) to coordinate the creation of any new HTML elements, page functionality, or activity types that are needed but not yet available in the existing templates. In the event that clients request their own brand standards be used for the styling of the course, the Course Development Specialist (CDS) will work with the client and the design team to provide a custom version of the template pages.

Using CourseArc Blocks

Choose an appropriate block for the activity from What blocks does CourseArc have (Alphabetical List)? Standard use of each block is recommended. To use new scripts or HTML code, approval is required. Please submit a Wrike iPD support ticket under Course Development Specialist Request. Include details on the HTML or script code to be added, the block type, and the issue with the default block code.

Accommodated Quizzes

In order to comply with 504 or IEP accommodations that require a reduced graded quiz choice number, a second version of each quiz will need to be created in the Brightspace course. The Accommodated Version of each quiz should have one fewer distractor for Multiple Choice questions than the original version.

Recommended Content Types

Before creating an H5P, check H5Ps content type recommendations page and only use content types that are accessible, maintained by the core team, have full browser support, and are scorable (if required). The Essay content block is the only exception to this rule. For courses that are built in CourseArc, always use the CourseArc version of a content type if available unless the H5P version offers relevant features that are not available in CourseArc
